Establishes "Jersey Craft Beverage Retailer Promotion and Grant Program" in EDA.*
This bill establishes a program to promote New Jersey-made craft alcoholic beverages and the retailers that sell them. It creates a "Certified Jersey Craft Alcohol Beverage Retailer" designation for stores selling at least 10% of their alcohol revenue from NJ craft producers (like breweries, cideries, or distilleries), and provides grants of up to $2,500 annually to these retailers for marketing, equipment, or facility improvements. The program is funded by 50% of tax revenue from craft beverage sales, plus potential state funds, administered by the Economic Development Authority. It directly affects NJ craft beverage producers and qualifying retail license holders who meet the sales threshold.
